The small market town of Trévières in the Bessin region of Calvados boasts some wonderful examples of 18th c. homes built by wealthy merchants and farmers as outward displays of their prestige and position within the Commune.

Situated close to Omaha Beach Trévières is not only the place where I shop at the market on Friday mornings but also where I buy my bread, croissants and pâtisserie, mail letters at La Poste, have my hair styled by my friseuse, browse for antiques and vintage items in the brocante and collect the latest issue of Campagne Decoration my favourite French magazine.

The town houses have wonderful wrought iron gates and fences.These gates are all in one street, some shabby chic others newly painted but each one beautiful in their own way.

Camille was a favourite of ours, a wonderful bistro on the corner of Rue des Francs Bourgeois offering traditional dishes such as pot au feu.Linking this post to Paris in July @ Thyme for Tea click on the sidebar button for more adventures in Paree.
